The National Monuments Service's description
The foundation of this site is attributed to Saint Cummin Fada (d. 661-2). He entered Clonfert monastery Co. Galway and subsequently established a foundation here where he became abbot. Cummian was a stout defender of the Roman liturgy against the Celtic school and his Paschal epistle is still extant (Cummian's Letter: De controversia Paschali. Maura Walsh and Dáibhí Ó Cróinín (eds), Pontifical Institute of Medieval StudiesToronto (1988). Studies and Texts, No. 86).
